The best thing you can do is talk to him. Seeing as how you tow are close, he should come around. But when you talk to him, don't get upset and freak out. Be calm.

If he doesn't come around, have a talk with his parents about them talking to him, or getting a therapist/councilor.

ok try talking to him, not even asking him about it, just tell him how much you love him, have your sister do the same... if he knows you guys love him, he might think twice about any of this stuff.... make sure he knows how much you care then talk to him about it... remember dont get mad and just show lots of love.

You need to let his parents know immediately. Better a mad friend then no friend at all.
Here are a couple of websites you need to read for more info on how to go about it.

*******If his mom knows and is doing nothing...thats so sad. Any other relative would do if you know of any. Or any adult. I don't know if calling the cops would help should you know when he plans on running...but I would give it a try too if you have to.*********

That's really serious. You should tell your parents or his. Maybe a school counselor. Just make sure someone knows, so they can help him.

Don't keep these things to youselves. Even if you're afraid he's going to be mad. It's worth his life.

This sounds pretty serious and probably more than you can your sister can handle on your own. Since you are involved, talk to your parents, tell them what is going on. Maybe if they feel comfortable they can talk to his parents and get him the help he needs. If talking to either set of parents are not options, I think talking to a guidance counselor in school. You may worry that this is going behind his back, you can tell him that you are really worried and thinks that he needs some help and has to trust you that you care for what is best for him. He may be really mad at this, but if he gets the help he needs and comes through this, he'll thank you in the end.
good luck and keep me posted.

i know it scares you but until it come to a very serious point where you need to say something. step in. your advice aint gunna kill him. tell him to listen and think about wat he is doin. you cant really stop him from makin his own mistake. tell him how you and your sister feel but let him figure out the rights and wrongs!

You should tell the social worker so that he can get help. Talk to him and tell him that if he kills himself, alot of people will be heartbroken and that if its because of a stressful situation that the bad time will pass.
Ask him what the problem is and talk to him about it. I know, you could show him advicenators and he could ask questions and get advice to help with the situation and you could help him too.
